I think different wodim versions (or try different software like growisofs, etc) would be the most promising option. There's really not a lot of influence the kernel has on this process, the burning software accesses the device with SG_IO which pretty much just passes ATAPI commands through to the drive. I thought I saw a report recently that some version of wodim was sending uninitialized values as the timeout for SG_IO commands, but I can't seem to find that mail at the moment.. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
